after dark days, after winter’s discontent, grey skies, doldrums, whatever you name it, there is always the return of spring. and oh how it is beautiful.
the first camellia bloom so far. and it is gorgeous.
click to see larger. always nice to see the first blush of spring.
soon to be roses, i believe.
i always look for these in february. hellebores (lenten roses) may look droopy, but they are amazing in that they are incredibly drought resistant and cold temperatures don’t faze them. and i don’t have to lift a finger except to ooh and ahh over them when the blooms do arrive, way earlier than its flowery counterparts.
oh, the freckled wonder.
even the dogs are happy. longer walks, more time playing ball, blissful bellyrubs in the warmth of sun.
have a happy weekend!

if it’s there now, it will be here…someday.
it’s almost strange to think of spring in February.
